Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to Baugnez

The drive from Charleroi to Baugnez

The route covers 148 km (92 miles) and typically takes 1 h 38 m. It runs from Wallonia's southern airport across the province towards the eastern Ardennes, near the German border. Allow extra time if you travel during weekday rush hours, or in winter, when snow and fog can slow the higher roads in the east. Because the transfer is booked privately, the driver can follow your arrival and you are not tied to a bus or train timetable.

Choosing the right vehicle

Couples, small families and solo travellers are well served by a private taxi, available for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers depending on how much luggage you carry. Larger parties can choose a private minibus with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56 or 64 seats. This suits tour groups, school trips, veteran and history societies, and cycling or hiking parties. Pick the size according to both passenger numbers and luggage, especially if you bring bikes or bulky bags.

About Baugnez

Baugnez is a small hamlet belonging to the municipality of Malmedy, in the Liège province. It lies on a crossroads in the Ardennes countryside, close to the High Fens nature area. The place is best known for its role in the Battle of the Bulge in December 1944, and it now has a memorial and a historical museum. Most visitors come for the history, the walking trails and the quiet surroundings. The village is small, so give your driver the exact address of your accommodation or meeting spot.
